Abstract
This study examines the triangular relationship between the flows of foreign direct investments (FDIs), public governance as measured by WGIs (Worldwide Governance Indicators) and economic growth in the 15 countries of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) between 1996 and 2011. The authors conclude that there is a negative relationship between FDIs and economic growth. More importantly, the effect of public governance was analyzed using the estimated coefficients of the variables voice and accountability, quality of regulation, government effectiveness, political stability and absence of violence, rule of law and corruption control, and the results showed that for half of these indicators, governance contributes negatively to the economic growth of ECOWAS countries.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
